I have been a voyeur on this forum for about a month but tbis is my first post. Is there any way to name a location in Google Maps? I cannot remember all the addresses that show up in the map search. For example, I would like to rename 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. as The President. Can this be done?

I am used to being able to take my current position on a map or point to a position and set it as a contact's position. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the DROID.Even though it is still a bit buggy (beta and all),I love the application, but I have noticed that specific addresses can be off by a block or two.I would like to be able to tell the phone that the correct position of this address is here.

I know that I can create a My Map and enter them one by one, but I already have 460 contacts in my phone and i just want my phone to say who is around the corner that I am not thinking of. Anyone?

How EXACTLY (and i mean step by step) do i set that up on the Droid 2 so its more accurate? We are always showing at different locations even when we are side by side! My phone shows me in the correct place but his shows him where he was a few hours ago and sometimes just shows a few miles away even when he wasnt there!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know I mentioned this in another thread, but I got to thinking about it. My return date is coming up (extended holiday return period) and I wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem or if it was in fact my phone and I should swap it out. My phone is placing my location in places I haven't traveled to or haven't been to in a long time. It is usually placing me ~200-300 miles away from my current location. I'm in Dallas, TX. Occasionally I'll unlock my phone and the HTC weather widget will say I'm in Dustin, Houston, San Antonio, and even once in Florida. Now, I can go into Google maps and let it find my location and it is very accurate. If I give it time the weather app will correct itself, but then later when I unlock my phone it will have done it again. I've tried using the weather channel app and widget and a few others. They are all having the same problem as they pull the same GPS data. Is this a problem with my GPS chip? I've done a bunch of soft resets, pulled the battery while the phone was off and let it sit for a few, pulled the battery while the phone was on and let it sit. Nothing seems to be helping. I just turned my phone off and back on and sure enough it reports I'm in san Antonio.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do an update to an app that was released under 1.0 about a year ago. When it was released, I used the package naming convention: "com.android.myApp". At the time, I thought this was the correct naming convention. In retrospect, this is not the case. The AndroidMarket does not accept new apps with "com.android" package names, so I am assuming the way I did it is frowned upon/disallowed. So my question is two-fold. #1: What is a correct method for selecting package names? I have started using a convention "com.myAppClass.appname". Where "myAppClass" is a arbitrary name that applies to a group of related apps and "appname" is the specific application (e.g. "com.mycategory.appDemo" and "com.mycategory.appFull"). Is this right? #2: What do I do about the app already released as a "com.android" package? My assumption is to recreate it using the above convention. What will the effect be on users who want to upgrade the application through the market or will the market even accept an upgrade version using a different package name?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf you are developing Android application, you will encounter such a id naming in xml files of view and layouts :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/new_game"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_new_game"
android:title="@string/new_game" />
<item android:id="@+id/quit"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_quit"
android:title="@string/quit" />
</menu>
and I am really wondering why such naming is applied to ids. It is because of Linux? What kinda meaning this naming --@+id/...--has? When I am looking at android:icon attribute I can interpret that it means ic_new_game is located under drawable folder and @ means "located at" or I just assume that. But naming id attributes are kinda different because they also have + sign. Can somebody help me understand this convention?
I don't see an option for naming a folder that you have created on your desktop. You can do this on blackberry.

View 12 Replies View RelatedHere http://source.android.com/submit-patches/code-style-guide#shortmethods it is stated that :
"Field Names
* Non-public, non-static field names start with m.
* Static field names start with s.
* Other fields start with a lower case letter.
* Public static final fields (constants) are ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES.
also states that : "The rules below are not guidelines or recommendations, but strict rules. You may not disregard the rules we list below except as approved on a need-to-use basis." I don't like the "m" convention before private or package fields in a class... I really find this uninspired. I mean, if we try to apply good designs, the low coupling of the classes implies having few public fields. actually, in my programs I usually have no public fields, even when I need some I use getters and seters. so, why should I be forced to have almost all my fields in the program with an "m" in front of them? wouldn't be easier to have the few public fields, if there are any, with some "g" in front or something? or just use setters and geters as beans suggest? this really makes my code harder to read. also, following these guidelines, local temp variables used in the methods have no restriction so they could easily be mistaken for public global fields (also without restriction). this also I find to be wrong, as it is a probable source of mistakes. I understand to have a way of differentiating from fields, but private/protected member fields are the most used in an application, they shouldn't be less "readable". what do you think? should I follow the guidelines?
Can anyone help with album covers? I have one album that shows up with its cover in the default music player. I assume that is because it is included in one of the tags information, I added covers to other albums tag info using windows media player and the advanced tagging option (method found in other forum for other lg phone) but the covers still don't show up when I put the albums back on my phone. Does anyone know which tag the music player is reading? There is also a folder (albumthumbs) that showed up on my sd card once I copied the album thats artwork does work to my phone, and in it is a file without an extension (this is obviously the cover for the one working album). Can I add jpgs to that folder or something and how does the album thumb naming convention work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is an app that allows you to name your phone. For example lets say i named my Droid. Optimus Prime And then i could use voice protocol after saying my phone's name For example Optimus Prime please text autobots (contact group), "Autobots Transform and roll out!" After saying its name the phone would automatically know that Autobots is a contact group and that the message i want texted is "Autobots Assemble!" Is there an app like this already? If there isn't it would be a great idea for one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAre they that lazy that they cant even give any of there new phones a real name. they just take the name of an older phone and just add the letters "HD" or "Z" to it. and the Desire HD and Z dont even resemble the original Desire is any way at all. also same thing with the Mytouch HD, wich is just a Mytouch 3G slide with out a keyboard. speaking of the Mytouch 3G slide that is another crappy named phone, why couldnt it have been called just the Mytouch Slide instead? did they really need to have "3G" in the title when 99.9 percent of all other android phones have 3G support? and now the Evo 4G and Epic 4G, are they going to have to make EVERY single upcoming 4G android phone have "4G" in the name too? and another thing that pisses me off is the "DROID" name. what idiot at verizon decided it would be a good idea to just rename all of there major androids to have the word Droid in front of it? why couldnt the Droid Incredible and the Droid Eris just be called the HTC Incredible and Eris just like they were originally planned to? and HTC did not even make the original "Droid" phone, so HTC shouldnt even be naming there phone Droid in the first place, ONLY motorola should. what is next? are they going to release another phone for verizon and call it the "HTC DROID Incredible HD"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI obtained my HTC Legend a few days ago and it seems to have some messed up dates/times. I was wondering where this problem is being caused. My situation: Settings -> Date & Time. This is where I first noticed something odd. It appears to be using the wrong GMT for a certain location. Best example I can give u is: Greenwich Mean Time (London) GMT+1:00. As far as I know London has GMT 0? This keeps adding up which puts my timezone (GMT+1:00 Brussels) to GMT+2:00. But- the time/date/day on my phone in general shows correct (Clock and such). Contact list -> Birth date. Here I noticed the next odd thing. It shows the correct date (for ex: 9th May 2010) but it will show the wrong day (in this case it shows Saturday, instead of Sunday). This is only in my contact list. When I check the Calendar application it shows the correct day for that date.
